Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years
oldto
spend an additional 5 months in
a nursing home at £2000 per month.**********
*******************************

My grandpa started walking five miles a day when he was 60.. Now
he's 97 years old and we don't know where he is...*******************************************
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who
annoy me.

*******************************************
The only reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy
breathing again.*****************************
***************
I have to walk early in the morning, before my brain figures out what I'm
doing..******************************************** I
joined a health club last year, spent about £1000. Haven't lost a
KG. Apparently you have to go there.*******************************************
Every time
I hear the dirty word 'exercise', I wash my mouth out with
chocolate.********************************************
I do have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers
them.****************
************************** The advantage of exercising every day is so when you die, they'll
say, 'Well, he looks good doesn't he.'********************************************
If you are going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small
country.********************************************
I know I got a lot of exercise the last few years,...... just
getting over the hill.******************************************
We all get heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more
information in our heads. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.***********************
***************** **** AND

Every time I start thinking too much about how I look, I just find
a Happy Hour and by the time I leave, I look just
fine.******************************************** You could run this
over to your friends, But just e-mail it to them!
